Byron Scott indeed seventh former Laker to coach team but only two of previous six coached more than 39 games: PRiley (727) & JWest (246)

Yikes. Good luck, B Scott. History says you're going to need it.

The stats are similar but Rose beat him soundly in Win shares and the Bulls had the best record in the league, Rose also have to carry the load for the Bulls more

Wade....
View media item 1104140

Wade played 76 games, was 25/6/5 on 50% shooting and took MVP votes from LeBron. If u put subbed Wade for Rose that year Chicago probably beats Miami

Great point. This needs to be quoted more then once.

Great read

Kinda random but I wish Brandon Roy didn't get injured (and Oden).. I think Portland would definitely have a title contender with a lineup of Felton/Roy/Batum/Aldridge/Oden…I think Roy would be putting up at least 20/4/4 with Oden putting up 11/13/3 blocks… That team would be :x

Oden would be a 17-19 PPG guy.

I figured the rest of the lineup would carry Felton to the finals

I think you are confusing the present day KD and Melo with the 2011 versions

You do realize Melo was still playing for the Nuggets in 2011 and they were podding their way to slightly above .500 season and he played worse defense work he does now?

And Durant was a one dimensional scorer, he was still playing with Jeff Green that season

That was awhile ago, I think you are confusing it with now. Nobody thought those dudes had a better season than Rose in 2011

Dont you think if they were actually better than wouldve been somewhat closer to Rose in the 2011 NBA MVP voting?

The argument wasn't who was having a better season.


It was who was the better player.

KD and Melo were light years ahead of Rose.

Rose was MVP since December that season.

Chi had best record is only reason he won.

Rose was not a better player than CP3 either so kill that talk.

 

[captainsneakerhead23]

The argument was about who had the better season, hence the reason D12 was mentioned. You turned it into something else, as usual, when you started listing your favorite players.

You're only good as your last season

And you didnt answer my question

If Carmelo and KD were better than Rose why didn't they finish closer to him in the MVP race?

Especially Carmelo, the guy didn't even get All-NBA nod on any of the 3 teams.....Melo didn't even finish in the top 13 in MVP voting that year...

Rondo finished with 5x the amount of MVP votes that Carmelo got that season.......Manu finished with 20x the amount of MVP votes as Carmelo did in the 2011

You'd think some writers would be as enlightened as you are and would've given Carmelo some votes

And please respond without using the copout....'politics"

Thank you.

Hence why there's a different MVP every SEASON.

Which means Rose was better that year.

Which goes back to me asking how can someone who was MVP not be top 5 THAT SEASON.

Thank you. I hate when people use the politics excuse.

IMO politics was the reason LeBron won ROY over Melo.... But dudes ain't trying to hear that....

Holy ****. I had no idea Aminu was only 23

@NickFolarin

So based on your logic, you would conclude that Kobe was the NBA's best player for only 1 season?

[captainsneakerhead23]

Holy ****. I had no idea Aminu was only 23

Really? Feels like he left Wake 10 years ago

 

[HIM]

Holy ****. I had no idea Aminu was only 23

A shame he and EJ are wasting their careers away for that team. #FreeAminuandGordon

 

[captainsneakerhead23]

Aminu got freed, he's on the Mavs

Yes. Just because you only win it once doesn't mean you not good. Good look at how many times he's finished in the Top 5. 

Heck MJ didn't win it every year. No player is going to be the best player every year. Your judged on how your perform over the course of you career. 

What point are you trying to prove? Just because I'm a Kobe, I'm suppose to think otherwise? Stop Trolling.

didnt know that...mavs are gonna cook this season...... & still get rocked by timmy n co

at Chris Wallace being the full time GM for the Grizzlies again.

Dude is untouchable in Memphis.

 

[ballinsam23]

Who isnt gonna get rocked by Timmy and Co. A WC team will be champs for the next 1-3 seasons.

 

[Lovetohate3000]

MVP awards have pretty much turned into the best player on the team with the best record.... Stating the obvious.

not the best player in the NBA.... Difference....
Nash was never the best player in the NBA.......not even close
